Butter Boxes and Shows.

New England Farmer.
Among the new inventions shown IN the dairy
department. of the Chicago fat-stock show were
some tin bound. wax-lined paper boxes for send

and with the tin edges makes boxes that will
hold the butter safely for quite long trip.
The sizes run from pound to ten pounds.
The butter is put in solid, and when the boxes

parison with the goods of other makers. Every
dairy convention should have butter exhibit

young dairyman would be glad to contribute
single pound of butter a show If he could
have it examined and marked to quality by
an expert judge of butter.

Willows for Fence-Posts.
American Agriou.turist.

American AgrIcutturfst.
1t is frequently recommended to plant trees
along the line of the fences, that when the trees
have attain ed sufficient size their trunks may be
used posts. Thus live posts, that will not rot,
had. already securely set, at the cost OF set
ting out the trees only. But to this there is the
objection that the swaying of the trees ioosenS
the nails holding the boards or the staples fast
ening the wires, whether the nails are driven
into the tree or into piece of timber fastened
to the tree. One of our Western subscribers has
discovered that when the willow is planted this
can be kept cut down closely that the trunk
will be swayed little if any, The tree should not
be used post until the trunk has at
tanned diameter of six inches a foot
from the ground; and even when 1t has reached
this size the tree may be cut off five feet from
the ground; making post of the desired height,
without killing the tree. Such cutting off would

bunch of shoots which will become

turn. Thus may have thick, stocky trunk

branches cut off make good bean poles. or the

growth If slips stuck into the ground IN

Farm Notes.

A rule for planting all kinds of garden vegeta-
BILE seeds is to cover them with earth of thick
ness four times the diameter of the seeds.
When limbs are broken off trees smooth the
part with knife and cover it with soft grating
wax, to exclude the air, and they will heal
much sooner than If exposed.
The best grain food for young colt is ground
or whole oats. A feed of oats morning and
night, with free use of the pasture Will keep the
colt in good growing condition.
The Jersey cattle are said to be increasing in
size. Those in this country are much larger
and harder than those brought over twenty
years ago, and we have better stock here than
can be procured elsewhere, not excepting even
the Isle of Jersey.
The gooseberry bushes do best when they are
well trimmed. They make very rank growth.
It is fruit that does best in partial shade, and
if the mildew does not attack it crop may
always be looked for. They are not grown ex-
tensively for sale. out every farm garden
should have a space devoted to them.

How to Cleanse WooIens.

Experiments made in Germany the best

of SO little value that its application would be
mere waste, and, though soap I've is better. the
preference must be given TO soap lye along with
